Anvils finally reached the magical Premiership total of 40pts last night against relegation threatened Arundel at a breezy Haven Centre, not that their had been any doubt on this point, as last seasons mid table finish looked a safe bet for a repeat performance.

For the 'stats' amongst us ( yawn ) one could start with the placement after 31 matches of both campaigns, last season it was 11th, this season it is 12th, points accumulated last season was 40, this season it was 39.

Biggest changes have been in the For and Against columns where last seasons 75 goals 'For' has been somewhat drastically reduced to 47, for exponents of the 'proverbial bus' this will no doubt bring joy in the 'Against', with this seasons total of 56 in comparison to last seasons total of 75.

Will be interesting to see the final figures at seasons end, that is of course if the weather allows one.

Will sign off now, as I have just espied two gentlemen in white coats coming up the drive!!
